Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE…The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.

WE BELIEVE…though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

WE BELIEVE…Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God through ‘Salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).

WE BELIEVE… in Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and Holy Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.

WE BELIEVE…that the gifts of the spirit are still in operation today.

WE BELIEVE…As a para-church organization, we are responsible to the great commission to save the lost, make disciples, and send them out.

About Corrective Discipline:

Discipline at Lakeland Girls Academy is principle-minded and designed to teach a lesson, not punish.

Typical disciplinary tactics include the loss of some privileges or the addition of chores, or both.

Activities

Students have opportunities to participate in activities they may never have chosen at home. New passions are discovered as students become more well-rounded through participation.

Participation in sports improves self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Healthier lifestyle choices become habits that will produce lasting benefits. Many activities encourage teamwork and improve the relational skills necessary for success. Group activities prepare students to consider and respect each other’s needs.

Testimonials

“I really pushed my parents over the edge when I overdosed on pills not once, not twice, but three times with 35 pills. They had enough and did not know where to turn. That’s when they brought me to Lakeland. Two months later, Jesus Christ intervened and said, “Get ready family! I am the Great Physician and I will heal your daughter and bind up her wounds!” God changed me from the inside out that day and has set me free from all the bondage that I was enslaved in.”

Military schools for girls are probably not the best option for your troubled teen girl. Many military schools for girls won’t enroll girls who have a history of problems. When dealing with troubled teens, there are many types of residential schools which can help troubled girls. Not all Christian boarding schools work with struggling teenagers. Programs which specifically help teenagers in trouble are typically referred to as therapeutic boarding schools or reform schools. For troubled teenagers in need of spiritual guidance, Christian boarding schools are a great answer. Christian boarding schools provide Bible-centered treatment for at-risk teens, as opposed to other alternative schools and therapeutic boarding schools schools without a Christian emphasis.
